Pigeonne is a 1953 by Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman from behind, wearing a dark, flowing dress with a high collar and long sleeves. The sleeves are split at the elbows, revealing bright yellow undersleeves. Her hands rest on her hips, and the dress flares out slightly at the bottom. The name "Pigeonne" is written in the corner—it might be the dress’s design name. The artist used quick, loose lines to capture the shape and fabric. Next, look up Carven to see more of their fashion sketches.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
